The Cooper kitchen is thick with the savory scent of brisket and a heavy, unspoken tension. Dinner is abruptly interrupted by the shrill, piercing ring of the landline. Mary answers, her expression draining of all color before she silently hands the receiver to Georgie. His eyes widen, a look of sheer panic crossing his face. He drops the phone, shoves his feet into his sneakers, and sprints out the door, ignoring George’s booming protests. The scene shifts to the sterile, fluorescent glare of the hospital hallway. Georgie bursts through the double doors, breathless and frantic. He rushes into the room, stopping dead in his tracks as he sees you in the bed, surrounded by nurses checking vitals. The crushing reality of their secret finally crashes down around them.
